He made some weird minor mistakes (his ridiculous Moorish guard or his support to Jewish refugees, for example) but, if Spain still exists, we owe it mostly to him. He took a country that had been impoverished by a demolishing Masonic government during the second Republic and modernised it. He improved our industry and agriculture, he built dams... he almost "invented" Spain as a tourist destination (I'm not sure of how "good" this is though).

Well keeping Spain out of WW2 was no bad thing.As history proved,he saved his country acting that way.Also if he persecuted the jews he would have never taken the help from US.He was quite a diplomat.He did his best for saving Spain.He also let the Division Azul go to fight communists in the Eastern Front and saved Degrelle.He was wise enough though not to join the Axis as he foresaw the Reichs defeat.

And yes his moorish guard was ridiculous,but remember Franco spent many years fighting in Maroco and these men were dedicated to Franco

I don't now the situation in Spain nowadays,but certainly no gay marriages or such sick staff would exist if Franco had the power

Also i suppose that criminality was much more lower under Franco's regime.He must have dealt strictly with the criminals,paidophiles and other scum.

He was fighting comunist scum that was flooding Spain from all over the world, Stalin was helping Republicans, I'd fight any government that has Stalin's support, if Franco failed there would be a SSSR(Spanish Soviet Socialist Republic). I'd like Spanish comrades to correct me if say something wrong.

You are QUIET RIGHT . And also you´ve made an excellent analysis of how HE was a wise man .

It´s a pitty that some members here in Stormfront , still don´t recognize the nobility of this man . Think only that his moto was ALL FOR THE FATHERLAND ( Todo por la Patria ) .

And this motto was in all police and Guardia Civil stations , and also in the barracks of the army . Now this motto has been supressed...

You are NOT wrong . You are quite RIGHT .

Well , as before , I regret that some spanish here in Sotrmfront , that see the current mess of our country , still defame Franco and the Spain he left .

Well,his mistakes weren't only the moor guard & the gift of the Spanish nationality to the sephardites but the treason after treason he commited.He didn't let a falangist batallion to rescue Jose Antonio Primo de Rivera from the commie hands nor an SS batallion offered by Hitler & leaded by Otto Skorzeny.He also let die Ramiro Ledesma,in red hands,too (but we can't blame him for Onésimo Redondo's death) & generals Mola & Sanjurjo suffered a tragic copter "accident".He let the executions due to personal revenges(Falange forbid all the members to take part in those affairs),masked after politic affairs & didn't conciliate the Spanish people.He betrayed the falangist & nationalsindicalist ideals,becoming a ultracatholic-capitalist regime.He also submitted to the USA allowing them to stablish their military bases on our soil.

Jose Antonio said:"I'd rather the marxist bullet than the right wing pat".

Franco never was a revolutionary. He was just a right wing conservative that allied himself with whomever was the convenience of the moment.
He used the real Spanish fascists (Falange) to get more power but never paid attention to the fascist ideas (for example nationalization of the banks).

He was not only a traitor to Hitler, but also the the spanish fascists: the ones fighting on the war and the ones inside Spain.

If we admire Franco for having been an "enemy" of communism and for having built some buildings then we should admire Bush for being an "enemy" of communism and having some buildings built. I don't care just about fighting communism, there is much more to do.

And he was not even a nationalist... how can you explain the fact that he did not even claimed back "Gibraltar", for example?

If he was so "nationalist", why did he allowed to have USA military bases in Spanish territory?

But... I have to agree, Spain was better with him than now. But that's not a good argument to admire him.
